WIP - Friday Edition

Hi guys !

How have you been doing ? It's been so hot these last couple days here that I haven't been up to much. I mostly stayed in the basement (where it's a lot cooler) to read.. But I still managed to finish my PTS pillow top !

I love this one so much that I don't know if I'll even be able to send it... My partner will really need to convince me on this one :p

I made my own paper template for this one and it went quite fast. The last row took me about 45 minutes to sew so it's not too bad.

(anybody interested in having the paper piecing pattern ? If some of you are, I could always make it available somewhere).

I'm thinking that some hand quilting in the grey part might look nice.

Have a better idea ?

I also started to cut into this lovely stack :

to make this quilt :

All the cutting is done and the white strips are attached to the squares so I just need to piece the top.

I think it's going to be a lovely quilt and I like that I have the opportunity to make a something in these colors :)

OOooo if you're giving away a pattern for them you may as well make one for me!! ;) It is a grogeous pillow top! And your quilt - wow! Did you use a computer proggram to show you what it would look like? Very very effective. LOVE the colours - it will be amazing once sewn up!

Holy Moly! Those are both so beautiful (the pillow and the quilt - I love that design for a quilt)! You have such an amazing eye for fabrics and colors!! Maybe I can put a bowl under my computer and just stare at all your stuff all day and some of that talent will pour over to me. ;) lol.

HI Marika,I love your pattern, it's a great cross between a crossed canoe and a kaleidoscope. Your colour placement is fantastic. I would love to give it a go. Will keep an eye on your blog to see if you post a pattern. thanks Lorena
